About Download Times

It's difficult to determine the precise amount of time it will take to download a file because many factors can effect download speed such as connection type and network traffic. However, below is a list of estimated download times for different file sizes and typical connection types. Keep in mind that these are only rough estimates and that your download time may vary.

Also keep in mind that some multimedia files (video and Flash) might be "streaming" media — that is, they begin playing before the entire file is loaded so that you will not have to wait the entire download time before viewing.
